What Fabrima does
Fabrima is a Brazilian industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1971 and headquartered in Guarulhos, São Paulo. The company designs, manufactures, installs, and services automated packaging machinery for three primary verticals: pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food and beverage. Its equipment portfolio spans the full packaging workflow, including inspection and control systems, fillers, cartoning machines, case packers, blister packaging, thermoforming, vertical packaging, labeling/sealing, special equipment (cappers, strappers), and accessories. The technology base is rooted in European packaging equipment know-how adapted for both domestic and export markets, and is increasingly built around Industry 4.0 connectivity for safety, control, and productivity; the company manufactures approximately 80% of individual parts in-house at a single facility, enabling tight quality control and backward-compatible parts supply for machines built more than 30 years ago.
The company is a subsidiary of the diversified Brazilian industrial group Grupo Masipack, and shares distribution, quality programs (PQM), and complementary equipment lines (Masipack, Masitubos) with sister entities, allowing it to bundle multiple packaging technologies into integrated line offerings. Fabrima holds CE Marking for EU market access and operates under GMP-aligned manufacturing practices, supporting regulated-industry customers. Its product roadmap includes a specialized Packaging Design consulting service augmented with augmented-reality visualization.
Fabrima generates revenue primarily through one-time equipment sales (quote-based, multi-year contracts, no public pricing) to enterprise customers in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food & beverage companies, supplemented by recurring original parts sales (including same-day shipping for frequent-use parts), technical support (phone/email/video/on-site visits), operator training, and design consulting. Distribution is direct B2B via field sales and inbound website forms, supported by CRMs and digital marketing channels including the company website, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and events such as the planned Open House 2026. The company sells into Latin America, North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, with manufacturing entirely consolidated in Guarulhos, Brazil.
